At the SPAC of Dawn

Good morning! Watch this space moving forward as a roundup of evening filings as well as news nuggets to nibble on beside your morning coffee.

The SPAC market has some increasing green shoots this week, with two new SPACs set to start trading today – AI Transportation (NASDAQ:AITR) and Agriculture & Natural Solutions (NASDAQ:ANSC).

Taken together with the three SPAC IPOs in October, Q4 has now matched the IPO totals of Q2 and Q3 of this year and presumably will best them before the year is out. With several major rumored non-SPAC IPOs gearing up for debuts in the first quarter of next year, the vibes are increasingly leaning towards normalcy to start 2024.

That said, November has started off slow in new announced deals with only one SPAC combination joining SPACInsider‘s announced column so far. Dealmaking tends to take a turkey nap at the midpoint of the month, so the coming weeks could be more about 40 new SPACs filed to IPO and the 153 with pending deals getting on and off the board, respectively.
